7 WWE friendships that were broken beyond repair

#3 Michael Cole and Tazz

They could now be considered one of the best teams ever!

When the first brand split happened, we were all incredibly lucky as we had a great commentary team on both brands. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler kept their place at the head of Raw and Tazz and Michael Cole took the helm on SmackDown.

Michael Cole had been the commentator on SmackDown for a while, learning his trade sat next to the legend that is Jerry “The King” Lawler. He also had the experience of heading a few pay-per-views when Jim Ross was out of action.

I have an unwavering hate of Michael Cole’s commentary, and it all happened when he changed his style and went to Raw, but before this, he was actually an excellent play-by-play guy, and due to the friendship he built up with Tazz, the commentary flowed, and the product was enjoyable.

However, when Tazz left the company, Michael Cole showed his loyalty to the WWE and was probably overly upset at his colleague leaving, so he cut all ties with the Suplex Machine.

It’s a massive shame really because if Tazz hadn’t left, maybe Cole might still be a half decent commentator.
